East Side Cuban
Holly had a great idea to go downtown to the east side area called "the Docks" to have lunch. We decided on Tango's, which used to serve up Mexican food, has now revised its menu to be a bit more Latin or Cuban styled. I'm going to get up on my soap box a bit here, and look out, I feel a food review coming on...
I am in search of decent Mexican food around this area. I've tried many, and have found none. I must be spoiled coming from the west coast. OK, so this menu has gotten away from traditional Mexican fare. This burger looks pretty decent, does it not? It was rare - even a bit rare for my taste. I asked for it 'medium.' The honey chips were delicious, though.
My biggest complaint about Mexican food in this region is as simple as this... chips and salsa. If the restaurant doesn't come off with a showstopper when it comes to chips and salsa, then everything goes downhill for me. Is it too much to ask that if a restaurant is going to represent itself as a Mexican restaurant, that it serves HOMEMADE chips and salsa???? I can't tell you how many so-called "Mexican" restaurants I've visited here that serve up chips from a bag and salsa from a jar. This place had the nerve to charge $1.95 for store-bought crap. Most Mexican restaurants are happy to start you off with chips and salsa (REAL chips and salsa)! I make my own fresh - I expect when I spend money at a Mexican/Latin restaurant that I would get something fresh! OK, you can help me down off the soap box now.... {sigh}
On a positive note, the chicken fajitas were rather tasty. There were bits and pieces of the lunch that were good. Especially the company! Thanks Holly!
